Chapter 48. The black tiger digs out the heart
"Saving lives is like fighting fire! Lead the way! Duan Zhixian didn't talk nonsense with this guy, but directly gave an order: "A squad is deployed in a battle formation, and the road is opened two miles ahead!" The second and third squads are separated from each other and formed a battle formation to take care of the two flanks! The guard platoon is in charge of the rear of the palace! "Before the first battalion commander Zhan Jinguo left, Duan Zhixian gave him a note. After the team dispersed, Duan Zhixian hurriedly wrote a letter, instructing Cui San'er to return to Yang Tong, and instructing him not to come back for the time being.
The whole marching procession went forward for about ten miles, and the more than 300 people in front of it were always slow. Where is the appearance of saving people, it is clearly a tour of the mountains and rivers. Duan Zhixian saw the opportunity and made a gesture to the battalion commander Zhou Dayong and the third company commander Li Xu raising their hands. Seeing the two people nodding, he shouted loudly: "The second company and the third company have closed the formation, the good brothers of Zhenshan are tired, you are responsible for guarding the surroundings, let them have a good rest." The crossbow company and the fourth company, follow me to pick up the company! ”
As soon as Duan Zhixian's words fell, he rushed forward with four platoons of the machine crossbow company and the combat company, past the more than 300 people. At the turn in front, I met Qiu Mingkang, the deputy company commander of the first shift. "How's it going?" Duan Zhixian asked anxiously. Qiu Mingkang nodded and said: "Sure enough, as the regiment commander expected, more than 300 people appeared in front of our right side to advance in a covert and reverse direction, and the target was the eagle's beak concave!" The company commander has already led people to follow, so he shouldn't have to run! ”
"Excellent! Although this battle is a last resort, there are still many benefits of fighting this battle! Duan Zhixian groaned and said, "You follow the road signs left in front and lead the machine gun squad to outflank the past." Duan Zhixian and they traveled more than 20 miles through the dense forest, and finally found the meeting place of the more than 300 people. It was a very gentle col, all of which was covered with large trees. The ground is free of fallen leaves and very clean. It seems that there are many people here and the surrounding environment is very well protected.
The people inside listened: put down their weapons, put their heads in their hands, and walked out one after the other. If there is resistance, thirty strong crossbows cover the shot! As soon as he finished speaking, he heard "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" The sound of the crossbow sounded, and a large number of branches fell on the heads of the more than 300 bandits!
"Now I count dozens: 1, 2, 3......"" Don't shoot arrows! I'm out! One of the bandits dropped his gun, put his head in his hands and walked out. As soon as the other bandit next to him raised his bow and arrow, he heard a "snap" and his head was opened! "Little bunnies, do you dare to take what I say as a fart? I don't know what to live or die! "The people on Duan Zhixian's side have long heard it, it was Cui San'er's voice! Everyone knows that the guard company is already in place as planned!
"And three counts! 8、9... "Don't shoot! We're all out! "With the lessons learned, no one dares to take risks now. It didn't take much effort, and there were less than a hundred people left in the same place. Duan Zhixian knew that these people were all bandits who were desperate, and if they stayed, they would be a scourge. So he roared: "All the flintlock guns fire, not a single one is left!" ”
Surrounded on all sides, the flintlock pistol covers a radius of less than thirty meters, and the result can be imagined. A minute later, the battlefield was cleaned, and there was no one alive at the scene! In the middle, I found two acquaintances, who were the guys who followed Zhenshan to worship the mountain. Duan Zhixian instructed a group to dig a big pit and bury it as tree fertilizer. It didn't take long for more than 200 people to pour in and move all those broken knives back to the temporary station, and naturally some people cleaned them up.
It is said that Duan Zhixian led the first class, the fourth class and the strong crossbow class to quickly return to the original place. The original 300 have been disarmed and taken into custody. At this time, more than 200 people came from the direction of the three stones. This was sent by Yang Tong to receive prisoners and carry weapons in accordance with Duan Zhixian's orders, and it was Yang Erya who led the team.
Duan Zhixian pulled the oily guy out and asked, "You know what I want to ask, say it!" "Official: There are more than 50 of our brothers in the cottage, and the second leader is in the cottage. The big boss and more than 100 of his guards have been killed! More than 500 people are being held in the back mountain. I'm telling the truth, don't kill me! ”
After a few simple explanations, he led the large army to march in the direction of Daqingshan. More than 30 miles, it was already there in less than three hours. At this time, the sun is just setting in the west. Bai Shujie asked Duan Zhixian to send two teams to investigate and see what magic there was in Daqingshan! Two hours later, the scout soldier returned to report: "That guy is right, there are indeed not many people in the cottage. However, there is only one road up the hill, and the entrance to the cottage is blocked by a large stone wall. There was a crossbow on duty on the gatehouse, and it seemed difficult to get up. ”
After the investigators investigated the spot, the prisoner's confession was verified. As for how to go up, Duan Zhixian felt that he still needed to see it on the spot before he could decide. Now that there were less than two hours left before dark, Duan Zhixian was unwilling to waste time, so he ordered the three companies to spread out in battle formation and approach the gate of the cottage in concealment. As a result, about 150 meters away from the gate of the cottage, it was no longer possible to move forward. Because there is an open field in front of it, and there is no shelter.
Duan Zhixian looked at it with a telescope for a long time and found that this Daqing Mountain was taller than all the surrounding peaks, and the real solitary peak stood tall. The cottage is built in a big hole halfway up the mountain, and the main peak of Daqing Mountain is more than 200 meters up. The gate of the cottage is higher than the surrounding hills, and it is really a husband, and ten thousand people can see it! The gate is made of logs, so thick and sturdy that you don't even want to break it without explosives! At this time, Duan Zhixian remembered the machine crossbow again.
Since there was no point in attacking head-on, Duan Zhixian then called Cheng Shijie over and asked: "You are from a hunting background, you can take people around and take a look, maybe you can find some clues." It's not cost-effective to storm head-on. The others rest on the spot and take turns to keep watch! Duan Zhixian leaned against the tree, fascinated by his eyes. It seems to be sleeping, but in fact, there is a pot in my head. Although the back mountain is a cliff, is it really impossible to go up? Huashan, which was so steep back then, was not broken by the Yang family's army!
Unexpectedly, Cheng Shijie came back soon to report: "You can go up, but there can't be too many people who go up!" And you have to be better! "I'm okay, count me in!" Duan Zhixian nodded and asked, "Who dares to go?" Ouyang Shan, who usually doesn't hum or ha, snorted: "Who else can there be besides me?" "Fart! I didn't even speak, when is your turn? Guan Xiong shouted in a low voice: "Count me first, if it's not enough, then call Xiaoshanzi to make up the numbers." ”
Guan Xiong and Ouyang Shan are both the core disciples of the 36 Tiangang carefully coached by the old men Wang Yidao and Wang Yizhu of the Yuxi faction, and their fists and feet are very good. "Three people are enough!" Duan Zhixian waved his hand and said, "Shijie, according to your judgment, how long will it take for us to get inside?" ”
Cheng Shijie lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said affirmatively: "Two hours is enough!" Duan Zhixian nodded and ordered: "Chen Jie, in an hour and a half, you knock out the crossbow on duty first!" You have one mission, keep an eye on the opponent's crossbow, and don't let him shoot arrows! ”
"Yes! Head! "Zhou Dayong, after the opponent's crossbowman is knocked out, you will organize four flintlock pistols to shoot in turn!"
"Yes!" "Yang Tong, after the machine gun sounds, you will organize people to feint, the momentum should be loud, the more chaotic the better! But there can be no casualties! "Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
By this time, it was completely dark. Duan Zhixian and Guan Xiong pulled out their crossbows together and moved forward with their backs against the mountain wall. At this time, there were fierce gunshots in front of the cottage, and there were shouts of killing from an unknown number of people! It seems that Zhou Dayong and Yang Tong cooperate very well, and the feint attack is like the real thing.
watched the figures of Duan Zhixian and Guan Xiong disappear on the opposite side, and directly touched the bandits' lair, and then gave the bandits a black tiger heart, so as to achieve the purpose of internal and external attacks. Although Cheng Shijie was extremely worried, he couldn't help now, so he had to wipe a handful of tears and silently bless in his heart, and then turned around and flew away.
Speaking of Duan Zhixian and Guan Xiong alone, it took almost an hour for the two of them to slowly come to the side of Daqing Mountain, and the light of the torches in front of the cottage could already be seen clearly. On the other side of the cottage, there were already gunshots and human voices, and the crowd of people running around was also endless. However, after careful observation, Bai Shujie found that it was always these people who were running around, and it seemed that there were only those people who could be used in the cottage. Bai Shujie turned his head and nodded at Guan Xiong, then slowly bent down and crawled forward. After another half an hour, Duan Zhixian finally saw the third acquaintance, a little thin man who followed Zhenshan to worship the mountain that day.
Duan Zhixian let out a low shout: "Go!" Then he kicked the ground with both feet, and the whole person flew up! In the air, two crossbows were already shooting arrows, and the target was the little thin man! The little thin man was commanding the minions with his teeth and claws, and in an instant, he was beaten into a hornet's nest by the crossbow arrows from the air!
At the same time, Guan Xiong's two crossbows also fired at the same time, aiming at the minions running back and forth! Now that the two of them are in the wolf pack, they must not give the bandits a chance to turn around, otherwise the consequences will be terrible! Taking this opportunity, Duan Zhixian changed the arrow clip and joined in the strafing. All the minions' attention was focused on the two machine crossbows outside the gate, and no one would have thought of the deadly arrows flying from behind! When Duan Zhixian changed the arrow clip for the third time, there were no living people in the square, only the crackling sound of dozens of torches burning!
Guan Xiong didn't wait for instructions, ran to the gate of the village as if flying, and opened the gate with great difficulty. In the next search for the remnants of the enemy, several squad and platoon leaders were responsible, but fortunately, there were no accidents. So far, the majestic and magnificent Daqing Mountain. Fell into the hands of the Great Song hoe team! Duan Zhixian didn't have time to look at the environment here, so he immediately ordered Chen Jie to lead two soldiers to rush to the eagle's beak recess overnight, report the results of the battle here, and notify the deputy regiment commander Cheng Shijie to immediately organize a large army to transfer over! It is especially emphasized that all the captives must be brought over one by one, because there is still a lot of hard work to be done!
After dealing with all this, Duan Zhixian had time to observe the situation here by the light of the torch. It turns out that this Daqing Mountain is a pillar of optimus from the outside. If you really go inside, you can find that the entire south slope is divided into four levels. The lowest level is the open field that I saw earlier. It is about 400 meters long and 120 meters wide.
Walking more than a hundred meters up, it is actually a second-level platform. Because a stone wall was built here, it was previously invisible. This platform is more than 300 meters long and more than 100 meters wide. More than 200 meters further up is the third level, and the platform area here is much smaller. Continue to go up more than a hundred meters, and you will reach the last level, which is the place where Duan Zhixian and Guan Xiong sneaked in, and this is where the entrance to the big cave is. There is also a platform in front of the big hole, which the previous bandits have dealt with very evenly. It is more than 200 meters long and more than 80 meters wide.
The upper and lower passages are not naturally formed, and it seems that they were dug out by someone many years ago. The two-meter-wide staircase winds its way down against the western wall. All the way to the bottom of the open field, then the passage along the ridge to and from the mountain. The peculiarity of Daqingshan is that the central main peak is a pillar of optimus, like a human head. The mountains on the east and west sides stretch outward, like open arms. It's just that there is a huge crack between the two shoulders and the head, as if someone has split it.
The main peak of Daqing Mountain is recessed to the south, forming four steps. The east and west sides of the steps are as smooth as a mirror as an axe and a knife. If you walk to the east and west edges of the big steps, you will find a huge crack about twenty to forty meters wide, and it is bottomless. Duan Zhixian walked along the steps and got a general understanding of the environment here. If you don't consider the problem of transportation, this is indeed a great place to garrison! But for now, this is a good place for training troops more suitable than the original station, and there is no problem with accommodating 30,000 people!
Form a supplementary battalion, which is also known as a boot camp! When Duan Zhixian returned to the Great Cave Square, he finally made up his mind in his heart. The first recruits of the boot camp were the same laborers who had been rescued earlier. A squad of fighters was then selected as instructors for a three-month period of basic training. The specific division of the site, the first and second steps have ready-made caves dug by bandits, and the drill scene is large enough to accommodate 5,000 people to live and train at the same time. As for technical and tactical training, they are all deserted and uninhabited on the top of a large mountain, with high mountains and dense forests, and they can toss as much as they want, and they will only frighten the beasts if they move their guns.
The third level, according to the ready-made caves, can accommodate more than 3,000 people, and is used as a camp for combat troops, and when there is no combat mission, it can be recovered and rested. The highest level is naturally where the headquarters is located, and it is not known what the situation is inside the big cave. Because the terrain here was too complicated, it was just to dispose of the enemy's corpses that night, and after arranging the sentry posts, Duan Zhixian ordered everyone to rest.
Early the next morning, use the bandits' firewood room to make a fire and cook. After the meal, Duan Zhixian issued a series of orders: the entire battalion of the Zhanjin Kingdom was dispatched to reconnoiter the situation in the fifty miles around Daqingshan. Zhou Dayong's second squad continued to search the entire area of Daqingshan for those held by the rebels. Yang Tong's third squad was responsible for cleaning up the caves and preparing for the arrival of the deputy commander's army.
Hu Bingzhang's fourth shift searched and cleaned the fourth-level platform to prepare for the office of the regiment headquarters. Xiang Danian's machine crossbow company is responsible for the vigilance of Daqingshan. After everyone split up, Duan Zhixian stepped into the big cave for the first time. This is about to become his own regimental headquarters, and he needs to take a good look and get acquainted with the situation. If the Supreme Commander does not know where the gate of the regimental headquarters is, it will be a big joke.
When I entered the cave, I realized that it was a huge cave. The whole is elliptical in shape, with a north-south long axis layout. It is more than 50 meters long from north to south and more than 30 meters wide from east to west. The net height inside is more than ten meters, and it is a good gathering hall in Zhenshan. Looking up, there were eight huge iron basin chandeliers in two rows, crackling and burning, and I didn't know what was inside. It endures and brightens up the entire hall. Bai Shujie scolded in his heart: What a waste! Two lamps are enough, why do you have such a luxury?
In the middle is a long table made of huge logs in Zhenshan, more than eight meters wide and more than 20 meters long, with complete benches around. Fifty or sixty people are very spacious, and it is a super large conference room! There are also quite a few small caves on the east and west sides. There are three caves to the east and eleven caves to the west. Log doors are installed, I don't know what is inside, and I don't know how much space there is.
The northernmost side is very smooth near the stone wall, and there is a small platform one meter high at the bottom, with a tiger skin chair on it, which seems to be a good seat for the three mountains. If the battle map is hung on the stone wall, it is indeed a very safe regimental headquarters. Eagle master? Duan Zhixian came up with such a term in his heart for no reason, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: Lao Tzu is not the city lord, where did he come from! "Commander, what kind of carving is the carving?" A voice suddenly appeared behind Duan Zhixian, startling him! Looking back, it turned out to be Hu Bingzhang, the fourth squad leader.
Duan Zhixian was annoyed, and when he saw that there was no one else, he pointed at Hu Bingzhang's nose and scolded: "You have forgotten all the fucking military regulations!" I didn't shout a report when I entered the door, I almost scared Lao Tzu to death, do you know? Hu Bingzhang said with a hippie smile: "I saw you talking to yourself, I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't call the report." ”
When Duan Zhixian heard this, he roared: "Fart!" You came to my ear to talk, and said that you were afraid to disturb Lao Tzu, what bullshit reason? How dare you play tricks on the regimental commander, I will write it down for you. When the deputy head of the regiment comes back, I will report it truthfully. When Hu Bingzhang heard the deputy detachment leader, he hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered: "Don't, don't!" Commander, you have a lot of adults, don't be with the small ones in general! ”
Duan Zhixian sat on the stool in front of the long table, stared at Hu Bingzhang, and said, "Look at your sneaky appearance!" Say, what's going on? Hu Bingzhang also sat down and said: "We finally found those who were detained, a total of 317 people. After preliminary inquiry, it turned out that there were many places in Daqingshan to store grain, gold and silver treasures. The small cave in this hall is used to store the grain, gold and silver treasures that are used in daily life, and there is a huge grain depot at the bottom of the mountain! ”
"Because this is a den of bandits, I was afraid of any accidents, so I came to check it out by myself. Fighters have been arranged to guard the gate outside. I didn't expect the regiment commander to come in first, so should we check all these warehouses, make sure that we have a bottom in our hearts, and then let the soldiers register? "Okay, it's okay anyway, let's see!" Duan Zhixian stood up, and Hu Bingzhang hurriedly stepped forward to block in front of him. Then he drew his pistol and stepped forward first, carefully opening the first hole door on the east side. Looking through the lights outside, it was all marijuana bags. Hu Bingzhang touched it with his left hand and said: "It's all bud rice, that is, the corn of later generations!" Duan Zhixian said loudly, "Arrange for someone to send these buds back to Tianjing New City immediately, this is a new variety of grain, see how the city lord arranges, and the gold, silver and jewelry will also be transported away." ”
Leaving these people here to prepare, Duan Zhixian and Guan Xiong followed Cheng Shijie over the mountains and mountains, made a big circle, and came to a mountain behind Daqing Mountain. Duan Zhixian raised his eyes and saw that this mountain and Daqing Mountain were one. However, there is a crack more than ten meters wide between the two, which only immortals can cross.
The only possibility is to fly over. Fly over? Duan Zhixian looked back and saw that Cheng Shijie had already taken out a thin rope and tied it to a small tree. Then use this string to go around a large tree behind it, so that the trunk of the small tree becomes bent. Duan Zhixian already understood what Cheng Shijie meant, so he sorted out the items on his body and cleaned up and down neatly. Then climb to the top of the small tree with your back against the small tree and grab the trunk with your backhand.
Duan Zhixian shouted softly: "Let it go!" "I'm not completely sure, be careful yourself!" Cheng Shijie admonished, and then let go of his hands! With a "soft" sound, Duan Zhixian flew out like a cannonball out of the chamber! In mid-air, I saw Duan Zhixian's arms slightly bent, and his palms were clawed towards the opposite mountain wall! During the whole process, Cheng Shijie and Guan Xiong both raised their hearts to their throats and eyes, staring at Duan Zhixian's movements!
The emperor lives up to his wishes! The moment he hit the mountain wall, Duan Zhixian grabbed a protruding rock! Then perform the talon stunt of aerial rock climbing, slowly slide down, and finally land on a small platform two people wide, and you're done! Here, Cheng Shijie nodded to Guan Xiong, and then pointed to the string in his hand. Guan Xiong's face was full of disdain, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiaoshu, and then walked to Xiaoshu and stood still, not looking at Cheng Shijie. After coming to this place, Guan Xiong knew that he could only pass two people. Because the platform below is so small, it can barely force two people to stand.
Since it was a bad idea that Cheng Shijie came up with, let him watch the scenery here! That's what Guan Xiong had in mind! With a wave of your hand, brother, I'm going! You can say that Guan Xiong is generous to the difficulty! You can also say that Sekio is personal heroism! However, he left the hope of life to his comrades-in-arms and the possibility of death to himself! What is Righteousness? What is comradeship? That's it! Time is everything now, and it is not the time for children to grow in love at all. Cheng Shijie didn't talk nonsense, and repeated the previous actions. This time, because of Duan Zhixian's response, Guan Xiong arrived on the other side without danger!
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
